Finally, regarding sun exposure (probably the hardest part of this stupid disease), when I told him I've had a few episodes of 5-10 minute sun exposure on my chest, face or shoulders which results in a red, sunburn-like rash, he said that's expected with sun sensitivity, especially being on Plaquenil, and with thinner skin from Prednisone.
Oh, boy, I never considered the thinner skin condition. I'm getting nervous about the summer because I always get the itchy head sores, even wearing a hat in the sun. Let's hope we make it through fall without any major rash. I hope you can get the rash on your shoulder cleared up using the cream. It worked well for me at that point.
